Court Won’t Toss Suit Claiming Polis Violated Colorado’s Limits on ICE Cooperation

By: Taylor Dolven | The Colorado Sun A state judge dismissed Gov. Jared Polis’ request to throw out the case. A judge has denied Gov. Jared Polis’ request to dismiss the case against him in state court alleging his attempt to comply with a subpoena from Immigration and Customs Enforcement breaks state law. Denver District Judge A. Bruce Jones on Wednesday rejected Polis’ motion to dismiss the case originally brought by former state labor department employee Scott Moss. Moss sued Polis in June after the governor ordered Moss to comply with a subpoena from ICE for personal information of Coloradans acting as sponsors for unaccompanied immigrant children. Just weeks after Moss filed the lawsuit, Jones blocked Polis from ordering certain state workers to hand ...

Colorado Joins the Fight to Keep SNAP Benefits for Illegal Aliens

By Marissa Ventrelli | The Denver Gazette Colorado joined 21 other states in a lawsuit seeking to undo the Trump administration’s campaign to stop taxpayer-funded food aid from going to individuals illegally staying in the U.S., arguing the move also implicated a group of noncitizens who should be eligible to get the benefits under the law. At issue is a guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that implements the provisions of the congressional budget passed in July. That budget narrowed the groups of noncitizens who could receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that some 90,000 on average will lose eligibility per month as a result of the new law. The individuals would have received about $210 per mo...

Colorado Audits 1,745 Immigrant CDL Holders After New Federal Restrictions

By Jennifer Brown | The Colorado Sun The state paused its commercial driver’s license program for immigrants with temporary legal status after a new Trump administration rule Of the 126,525 people in Colorado licensed to drive 18-wheelers, school buses, and trucks carrying hazardous materials, 1,745 are immigrants who do not have permanent legal status to live in the United States.  That number won’t rise anytime soon, if ever.  Colorado paused new licenses and renewals for immigrants without citizenship or green cards after the Trump administration announced “emergency action” in September to drastically restrict who is eligible for commercial driver’s licenses. The new restrictions include refugees, asylum seekers and people protected by DACA, or Deferred Action for Chil...

Blue States Sue Trump Over SNAP Rules Limiting Immigrant Eligibility

By: Rachel Shin | POLITICO Democratic attorneys general in states like California and New York argue that new guidance illegally blocks legal permanent residents from receiving food stamps. Democratic attorneys general from 21 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration Wednesday over guidance that they say unlawfully blocks certain groups of legal immigrants from accessing food aid. The GOP’s tax and spending package, which was signed into law in July, narrows some immigrants’ eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the nation’s largest anti-hunger initiative. Green-card holders, however, can apply for benefits after a five-year waiting period. In their lawsuit, state officials allege USDA issued guidance on Oct. 31 incorrectly de...

Colorado Judge Restricts ICE Detentions, Siding With ACLU Plaintiffs

By: Landon Mion | Fox News ACLU lawsuit accuses immigration agents of indiscriminately targeting Latinos without proper legal justification.

The lawsuit accuses immigration agents of indiscriminately arresting Latinos to meet the Trump administration's i...

Soros-Funded Group Challenges DHS Effort to Hold Illegal Aliens Accountable

By John Binder | Breitbart News A group financially linked to George and Alex Soros’s Open Society Foundations is behind a class action lawsuit brought by illegal aliens who are suing President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for fining them after they have failed to self-deport from the United States. On Thursday, a pair of illegal alien women, joined by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, filed a lawsuit in an attempt to have a federal judge block DHS from sending them hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for their failure to self-deport. The Immigrant Legal Resource Center rakes in millions annually from Soros’s Open Society Foundations — including securing a $3.9 million grant in 2022. Likewise, in 2021, the group scored nearly a ...

Supreme Court Casts Doubt on GEO Group’s Immunity Claim in ICE Labor Case

By: Jessica Porter | Denver7 WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in a class action lawsuit by immigrants against the Aurora U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention Center owned by The GEO Group Inc. The original lawsuit was brought in 2014 by Alejandro Menocal, a former detainee at the GEO ICE Detention Facility in Aurora, alleging forced labor in violation of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.

Detainees were paid just $1 a day for voluntary work, such as cutting hair or cooking. In court Monday, the GEO group argued that it has immunity from litigation as a government contractor....
